Women’s star Greenway ends England career

England’s Lydia Greenway, a four-time Ashes winner and two-time world champion, announced her retirement from international cricket yesterday. Greenway, 30, scored over 4,000 international runs in 225 appearances, playing in four successful Ashes campaigns and twice winning the World Cup.“During recent discussions with (England coach) Mark Robinson about his focus on developing new players against Pakistan this summer, it became clear that my involvement with the England team might be limited moving forwards,” Greenway said.“While in the past I have been in a similar position and have fought for my place, I now feel that at this stage in my life, it’s time to take a step back and retire from international cricket with immediate effect, allowing the next generation of players to develop on the world stage,” she added.Greenway, who will continue to play domestic cricket, follows England captain Charlotte Edwards in retiring from the international game.
